Is there a way to (relatively) easily fix a mess such as this?
https://www.tvmaze.com/characters/271955/doctor-who-soldier
Needless to say, eight different actors didn't play the same character, "Soldier", over a 12-year period and 5+ different serials. The contributor(s) who entered them (who I didn't check via the edit log) presumably didn't know that each soldier is a different character and should be treated as such.
Short of manually going in and fixing them, I don't know of a way. And when it comes to generic character names like this, there are potentially hundreds of misnamed entries for Doctor Who. I fixed another one, for the character(s) "Robot", last night.
Thanks!
